Spent a few days in Napa and got to explore the valley on bike. This was my longest ride while there-57 miles and over 2800 feet of climbing.
Mount Veeder is part of the Mayacamas Mountains, the mountain range that separates the Napa and Sonoma Valleys. It is a challenging climb (measured a section of 17% grade), 1300 feet over 8 miles. The downhill into Napa Valley makes it all worthwhile. Make sure you stop at the Oakville Grocery Store for coffee and cookies.
Enjoyed the great roads. . .
And scenic wineries. . .
Calistoga sparkling mineral water -from the natural geysers in the area. Hopefully not from the same springs that people relax in.
The Calistoga Bike Shop. It's a good thing I don't bike with my credit card.
